Foundation Mission

Serving Army Families and the Local Community

Providing educational opportunities for Army families is at the core of our mission.
Our Family for Families First is a private charitable foundation established by John G. Picerne in June, 2006. Our Family for Families First is committed to supporting Army families in the pursuit of higher education, establishing a tradition of community service, and encouraging professional career paths through education, internships, and mentoring programs.

Picerne Military Housing operates under the mission of Families First (tm), and Our Family for Families First will be a national resource for Army families to identify educational opportunities throughout the United States by:
  • Supporting children of Service Members in the placement in and providing scholarships to local and national community and 4-year colleges and universities.
  • Supporting Service Member spouses in identifying potential educational opportunities at and providing grants for community colleges and universities.
